Diamond in the Rough by Charlie Cochet

4.0

4.5⭐

This was an extremely well paced and brilliant story. That I was truly excited to read. As I've been intrigued by Ward 'King' Kingston ever since I started reading these books. But especially after finding out what happed to him personally whilst in Syria with his team, and what he did for them when they got back to the US. Although I must admit to being dubious about him and Leo. But they actually really complemented each other and the way their relationship developed was endearing, and lovely to read.

Plus, the story had action, and a little suspense. Not to mention plenty of interaction with the other guys from Kings team. Which I loved, particularly when it came to Ace. Who had some wonderful heart to hearts with King as he contended with his feelings for Leo, and as for Leo, he was a wonderfully geeky yet strong character. Who found himself in a tough situation. Yet in the end, he didn't cower and I admired that.

As for the epilogue, I thought it was a lovely way to round off the series and I'm glad to see there will be a spin off series, featuring Joker and Jack.

As for Diamond in the Rough I would happily recommend it to others.
